The Personalities of Jeremy Corbyn and Nigel Adkins

Posted on May 13, 2016

I have had an interesting couple of days, mainly courtesy of seeing my friend Paul (who lives in Barons Court) and meeting the chaps he drinks and plays in a band with. I have always regarded Paul as one of my 'new' friends as I met him (through work) in 1994. Sadly, I often think 1994 for was about three weeks ago and it is only when it dawns on me that it was 22 years ago, I wonder if Paul should now be promoted to 'an old friend.' In ...

Putting One Foot in Front of the Other!

Posted on April 29, 2016

Since having a dog it is quite remarkable how much walking I have done and the more I do it, the more I seem to discover it is my favourite pastime, especially in solitude. Quite why the ability of putting one foot in front of another is a source of such joy I don't know; perhaps it is the fact that the closer we become to no longer being able to do it, courtesy of disability or the grave, the more we enjoy it? When I first started walking ...
